Naumi 1
1 Lisakoli na tina na engumba Ninive. Buku ya emoniseli ya Naumi, moto ya engumba Elikoshi.
Burden of Nineveh. The Scroll of the Vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 Yawe azali Nzambe oyo atonda na zuwa, oyo azongisaka mabe na mabe. Yawe azongisaka mabe na mabe mpe atombokaka makasi. Yawe azongisaka mabe na mabe epai ya banguna na Ye, akangelaka bayini na Ye kanda makasi.
A God zealous and avenging [is] YHWH, An avenger [is] YHWH, and possessing fury. An avenger [is] YHWH on His adversaries, And He is watching for His enemies.
3 Yawe asilikaka noki te, mpe nguya na Ye ezali monene. Yawe atikaka te moto oyo asali mabe lokola nde asali na ye mabe te, kasi apesaka etumbu na moto oyo asali mabe. Yawe apasolaka nzela na Ye kati na ekumbaki, kati na mopepe makasi.
YHWH [is] slow to anger, and great in power, And YHWH does not entirely acquit, In a windstorm and in a storm [is] His way, And a cloud [is] the dust of His feet.
4 Agangelaka ebale monene mpe akawusaka yango, akawusaka bibale nyonso. Etuka ya Bashani mpe ya Karimeli esili nyonso kokawuka, mpe matiti nyonso ya Libani esili kokawuka.
He is pushing against a sea, and dries it up, Indeed, He has made all the floods dry, Bashan and Carmel [are] languishing, Indeed, the flower of Lebanon [is] languishing.
5 Bangomba milayi eninganaka liboso na Ye, mpe bangomba mikuse epanzanaka. Mabele, mokili mpe bavandi na yango balengaka liboso na Ye.
Mountains have shaken because of Him, And the hills have been melted; And the earth [is] lifted up at His presence, And the world and all dwelling in it.
6 Nani akoki solo kotelema liboso na Ye soki asiliki? Nani akoki solo kobika soki kanda na Ye epeli? Mpo ete kanda na Ye epanzanaka lokola moto, bongo mabanga ebukanaka liboso na Ye.
Who stands before His indignation? And who rises up in the heat of His anger? His fury has been poured out like fire, And the rocks have been broken by Him.
7 Yawe azali malamu, azali ebombamelo ya solo na tango ya pasi mpe abatelaka bato nyonso oyo batiaka elikya na Ye.
Good [is] YHWH for a strong place in a day of distress. And He knows those trusting in Him.
8 Akobebisa engumba na Ye nyonso na mpela mpe akobengana banguna na Ye kino kati na molili.
And with a flood passing over, An end He makes of its place, And darkness pursues His enemies.
9 Likita ya ndenge nini bakoki kosalela Yawe? Azali Ye oyo asilisaka makambo nyonso; pasi ekoya lisusu te.
What do we devise against YHWH? He is making an end, distress does not arise twice.
10 Bakokoma lokola bato oyo bazali kati na banzube, lokola bato oyo balangwe masanga ya vino; bakozikisama nye lokola matiti ya kokawuka.
For while princes [are] perplexed, And with their drink are drunken, They have been consumed as stubble fully dried.
11 Ezali kati na yo Ninive nde moto oyo azali na mabongisi mabe mpo na kotelemela Yawe mpe azali na batoli ya mabe abimi.
From you has come forth a deviser of evil Against YHWH—a worthless counselor.
12 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Ata banguna na bino bazali ebele mpe makasi, bakosila kokufa mpe kolimwa. Oh mokili ya Yuda, soki nasambwisaki yo, nakosala yango lisusu te.
Thus said YHWH: “Though complete, and thus many, Yet thus they have been cut off, And he has passed away. Though I afflicted you, I afflict you no longer.
13 Nakobuka ekangiseli na bango, oyo ezali na kingo na yo mpe nakolongola yo na minyololo. »
And now I break his rod from off you, And your bands I draw away.”
14 Kasi Yawe azwi mokano oyo mpo na yo: « Okotikala kozwa lisusu bakitani te oyo bakobatela kombo na yo na bokonzi. Nakolongola kati na tempelo na yo banzambe na yo ya bikeko mpe bikeko nyonso oyo basala na bibende balekisa na moto. Nazali kobongisela yo kunda, pamba te ozali na yo pamba. »
And YHWH has commanded concerning you, “No more of your name spreads abroad, I cut off carved and molten image from the house of your gods, I appoint your grave, for you have been vile.”
15 Botala kuna na bangomba makolo ya momemi sango malamu: amemi sango ya kimia! Oh mokili ya Yuda, sepela na bafeti na yo mpe kokisa ndayi na yo; pamba te wuta sik’oyo, moto mabe moko te akokota lisusu epai na yo; pamba te bango nyonso bakobebisama nye.
Behold, on the mountains the feet of one proclaiming tidings, sounding peace! Celebrate, O Judah, your festivals, complete your vows, For the worthless no longer pass over into you, He has been completely cut off!
